I just find that WordPress is not only a powerful blogging platform, but it can also power more conventional web sites for my clients who insist on them. And you are a pot-stirrer extrordinare! :) No doubt Blogger has sure come a long way.

I just find that WordPress is not only a powerful blogging platform, but it can also power more conventional web sites for my clients who insist on them.

Anyhow, I was just stirring up the pot a little for fun. You know me. ;-) Both are wonderful platforms with their own strengths and weaknesses and in the hands of the right coder.

Glad to have you back. Gotta disagree with you on the Blogger thing, new or otherwise. Having messed with both old and new Bloggers, There is <b>soooo</b> much more I can do with WordPress. It would take a <i>huge</i> improvement on their end to entice me to turn back. Heya Bloke! Glad to have you back.

What Char said! I'm just messing with the theme and the layout. Then it is as easy as uploading the new theme and activating it in the control panel. Of course I don't have all the same plugins, etc on my test site at the moment, although there's no reason why I couldn't. All in all it make the whole thing fairly easy. :) Yeah. What Char said!

Once I have it the way I want it, I just copy the files locally to the right directory and FTP them to the live site. So, no, not really very hard.

All three of my sites are hosted on it. I can also set up subdomains so I wouldn't even have to buy a new domain. I just never thought about it. One question I have though. Once you get something working on your test domain, how much work is it to transfer it to an active domain. Doing things locally, I just ftp everything once. Is it easier or harder transferring things from another domain? Hi Char,

I have a reseller account anyhow so my extra domains don't cost me anything to host - just the $8.95 a year to own them. Rick – when you think about it, it really doesn’t cost that much to do.

Good luck and let me know if you need some one to test it out before it goes live. I keep other domains on hand specifically for that purpose.
